The Oki 5200 printer is a good printer for the workplace. It is one of those hidden pieces of office equipment that seems hard to replace. It has many options and a strong reputation for reliability and quality printing. For some people it is unknown, but for many that have businesses, this printer is a hidden treasure that one comes to rely on.

Flexibility

This printer has the ability to print color and black and white copies. It has a good reputation for being reliable. For some laser printers, there is a slight dullness in the color prints. The quality of the color for the Okidata is excellent and better than some of the very expensive laser printers. For people that need two sided printing, there is an optional unit called a duplexer.

Speed

This printer is rated as one of the better quality units, and the speed is also good. It may not be the fastest on the market, but the speed is more than adequate for any work place. For black and white prints it can print approximately 24 per minute, and for color it can do 16 per minute.

Good Print Quality

This is where the Okidata really makes a name for itself. It has a fantastic print quality for black and white prints which even out perform high end laser printers. The color prints were also very good with only occasional problems with smudging.

Size And Weight

The size of the unit is only about the size of a very large shoe box and it can fit into most spaces. It looks like a basic ink jet printer and is very easily put into any type of office decor. The weight however is surprising. It is very heavy at 45-50 pounds, depending on if you purchase add on or extras.

Memory Capabilities

The microprocessor speed for this unit is 200 MHz. There is a built in memory of 32 MB. What is nice is the optional memory add on which can make the printer even faster. A person can add up to 288 MB of memory externally.

Cost Effective

This is surprisingly one of the least expensive laser printers of its kind. One of the things that many businesses look at when buying a printer is the cost per copy. For businesses doing an average of 30,000 copies per month, it is one of the keys to buying a printer. The cost for black and white prints is 2 cents per page, and for color it is about 15 cents per page. On average the black and white copies are at a good price. The Color copies are a little expensive, but many feel the quality outweighs the cost for this printer.

The Okidata c5200 printer is one of those pieces of office equipment that never seems to die. With fast quality printing, at a very affordable price, it is a hidden gem to many in the business world. It is a work horse in the office, and has made many business owners very happy. Remember to invest in Okidata toners if you are planning on buying this model.
